Why do some have a shit time with LLMs for programming while others love it?

To succeed, the latter group tacitly creates tons of scaffolding and gain weird new skills. While it works, this posts explains how doing all that is an incidental consequence of bad interaction design in coding AI agents.
The Gap Through Which We Praise the Machine
My current theory of agentic programming: people are amazing at adapting the tools they're given and totally underestimate the extent to which they do it, and the amount of skill we build doing that i...

Elon Musk’s AI company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of Memphis that already leads Tennessee in asthma hospitalizations.

xAI has become one of the county’s largest emitters of smog-producing nitrogen oxides.
'How come I can’t breathe?': Musk's data company draws a backlash in Memphis
The company’s turbines — enough to power 280,000 homes — run without emission controls in an area that leads Tennessee in asthma hospitalizations.

South Memphis is choking while Elon Musk’s AI company cuts corners.

xAI’s massive supercomputer burns so much energy that local utilities can’t keep up so they installed 35 methane gas turbines right in the heart of a neighborhood already suffering from toxic air.

Klarna made waves replacing staff with AI, but now it’s rehiring humans after quality dipped.

They are still “AI first” by not replacing employees who leave given AI. I like to think of this as “hiring freeze first” instead. It’s more honest.
As Klarna flips from AI-first to hiring people again, a new landmark survey reveals most AI projects fail to deliver
Just 1 in 4 AI investments bring in the ROI they promise—but CEOs just can’t resist the technology.

It is mind-boggling that so many companies are still sponsoring Fox “News”. As our country falls to fascism and kleptocracy these companies are still actively fueling the destruction. Disgusting.

I had been a customer of some of these companies. Learned and done. Shame!

Wanna put some pressure on Musk? Help MEMPHIS hold XAI accountable.

After people pressure, the health dept will hold hearings on air permits — as Trump guts TVA, likely to install a Musk-friendly board.

🎉 🤔A PARDON PARTY? — Wow, we’ve seen a lot in our 7 years, but this is a first.

MEMPHIS Republican ex-Senator Brian Kelsey was popped for campaign finance crimes, pleaded guilty, and did a whole 2 WEEKS in prison before Trump pardoned him… so next week he’s celebrating.
